Is Schwalbe Magic Mary front or rear?
As you know, we think the Magic Mary is a great front tire that offers oodles of predictable traction across the full spectrum of conditions and may be as close as we have found to a perfect all round front tire. Big Betty works perfectly on the rear wheel when combined with our much-loved Magic Mary.
Is Schwalbe Magic Mary good in mud?
The Magic Mary also has enough space in between the knobs so riding through a muddy section won’t clog up your tire for the rest of the trail. It seemed like mud never stuck around for long before flinging off every which way, making room for a fresh tenant on every rotation. Comparatively, the Magic Mary features a well-spaced mid-spike tread pattern that penetrates loose or wet soil easily. Although this added traction comes at the cost of increased rolling resistance and the tendency for the knobs to squirm uncomfortably at higher speeds on hard-packed terrain.
